This restaurant is a gem restaurant in West Ashley area! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was so quaint and lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been visiting this restaurant several times in the past and invited some friends that were visiting to try and eat at this local restaurant. The service was fast and the server often check in to make sure we have what we need and our glass filled. The food were great and the fried green tomatoes was on point. The fried chicken was a bit too salty but the rest of our food orders were fine. read more

Love this place!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rustic/natural beauty of the restaurant is always nice and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone is always sooooooo friendly and nice!! Specials are always tempting, and last night I gave in! We started with the Okra "Fries", which was surprisingly amazing and full of flavor. Hoping they keep it on the menu. I Chose the Crab stuffed catfish over pimento cheese grits was the catch of the day and it did not disappoint. Fish was cooked to perfection and the grits were nice and creamy, even my leftovers this morning were great (grits weren't stiff at all). Tasted a piece of the fried chicken and it was great too. That oyster spot downtown cannot touch Angel Oaks fried chicken, and I've tried both!! The icing on the cake is ALWAYS the beignets. We shared and all agreed, it's a must when dining here. Look forward to my next visit. read more

Good food good people.I hope this place survives all the construction in the area.We've enjoyed going here and hope you find it enjoyable.

Food is amazing! Started with an Arnold Palmer and sweet and it's freshly brewed. To start had the crab cake. Absolutely delicious!! Followed with the shrimp platter and fries, which came with a side of their col slaw. And lastly the shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes. Everything was delicious, fresh, and mouth watering. The service was impeccable, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance at 11:30am on a Saturday was quiet with music in the background and you could have a great conversation at your table no issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hands down would come back again. read more

Wow! Best fried chicken I have had in a very long time. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly crispy. The shrimp & grits also the best we've had in the Charleston area. We were incredibly impressed, and couldn't believe we waited so long to get here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The speakeasy in the back building is such a cozy and friendly little lounge, we can't wait to come back for music and trivia nights!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Angel Oak Restaurant on Hwy 17 South past Main Road intersection. We have been to Angel Oak several times over the years and were always happy with the great food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very Cozy Restaurant with limited seating, make sure you speak up![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in today to pick up take out order, 2 orders of the Fried Chicken Dinner comes with Mac N Cheese and Collards plus a dessert order of Beignets!! Oh My so Awesome!! The service was good for take out, just no terminal at hostess stand to run your credit card, so they have to run it in the kitchen, little annoying. Only other nock is the parking is very tight. Definitely Angel Oak gets 4 Stars ! read more

This is such a little gem of a restaurant if you've never been. The ambience and décor are just lovely, and the service and food seriously just speak for themselves. Their Piggy Mac & Cheese is just delicious! Tender Pulled Pork at the bottom, topped with Mac & Cheese with even more cheddar cheese sprinkled on top and last but not least Bacon crumbles. Honestly, the most memorable Mac & Cheese I've had to date at a restaurant. Highly recommend if you're look for a nice little place for Lunch or Dinner. read more

So good. Took my friends from out of town and we were all happy. I had the crab cakes! Delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great little spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I drive past here on my daily commute & wanted to give it a try. I'm glad I suggested it to my boyfriend for date night. The building is tiny but it has a rustic feel on the inside. Despite its size, it wasn't loud (or busy) for 7 pm on a Friday. The food was flavorful and the drinks tasty. After our meal we headed out back the speakeasy. There was a musician playing guitar & singing. I also noticed a back porch with outdoor seating. We could have ordered food in there as well. We preferred the vibe of the speakeasy due to the music. Overall both places were nice and the food delicious. read more

The lunch entrees were very good and the server was friendly and responsive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interesting decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because the restaurant entrance is just past the left turn from Savannah Highway to Kiawah and Seabrook, stay out of the left lane when traveling south. You will get there faster. read more

This is literally my favorite restaurant in Charleston. Upscale southern food. We have been 3 times and the food has been good and consistent each time. The service has been hit or miss. The first two times it was great, the last time we felt rushed and thought the speakeasy bartender was extremely rude. Half of the table ordered nonalcoholic drinks from the menu and the bartender stated "you're taking up a lot of space in my bar for not ordering alcohol" even though we did order drinks. Ambiance in the speakeasy behind the restaurant is more fun but the restaurant is clean. read more

Our first try for a Saturday 5:00pm dinner at Angel Oak Restaurant on Route 17 in Johns Island. Unfortunately as we entered, we did not receive a pleasant greeting just seated us without a smile. Hopefully this was just an off moment. We enjoyed a very yummy Salad of the day which was sautéed shrimp salad. The shrimp was very bland and tender, served over fresh large spinach leaves with hard boiled eggs, diced tomatoes, bacon and blue cheese crumble, served with very tasty blue cheese and balsamic dressings on the side. Everything tasted fresh and nicely prepared, making it a light yet satisfying light meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place definitely filled up. It is one room on the small side, low ceilings, almost cottage like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was average. Waters weren't refilled and this was before it got busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking is tight and there is a cocktail lounge out back in what appeared to be a large shed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No real glaring negatives but not impressed enough to return right away with so many wonderful restaurant options in the Charleston area. read more

You would never know it from the outside, but the Angel Oak Restaurant was a wonderful surprise and a true hidden gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The charming atmosphere, beautifully presented dishes, and exceptional food made for an unforgettable lunch experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the BLT with fried green tomatoes, absolutely awesome. The sweet tea was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly balanced and full of real tea flavor--and the attentive service made everything even better. We can't wait to go back. read more

oh. my. goodness. GO GO GO GO GO!!! and get yourself the fried chicken, coated in delicious honey. The fried green tomatoes app was so good especially with the pimento cheese, a southern staple. The mac n cheese was an unexpected favorite. Genuinely everyone was ecstatic with their food - cheeseburger, shrimp and grits, its all good!! It can be tricky to get large groups sat, so give a call and they will try to accommodate! read more

Great atmosphere and service at the back cocktail bar! Met some friends for a Friday drink and we'll be back. The staff were friendly and efficient with the crowd. Inside the cocktail bar building can get loud but the back patio is stellar. They have a full bar selection with several fun and themed cocktails. The only food we got were the fried pickles which were okay but not great. read more

What a great find. Ally was so helpful with my phone order and my chicken salad with a croissant was wonderful. My husband's choice was the big winner - a Patty melt with thick sliced beef, caramelized onions and havarti with loads of potato salad. Looking forward to our next trip south! read more

I went here for my birthday. The appetizer, the fried green tomatoes were wonderful. Maybe the best I've had. My wife got the shrimp and grits. I tried some of hers. We both agreed it was very good. I got the fried chicken. The quantity? It was an enormous amount of food. The quality? Fair and at times bad. The macaroni was decent, with some occasional bites that were very bitter and abnormal tasting. If you're a southern inspired place, your macaroni should be great. Frankly, Whole Foods has better macaroni. The greens were pretty good! I'll give them that. The chicken -- plentiful! Breast, wing and one other piece. But man was it salty!! My wife doesn't eat chicken but I let her taste some of the batter. The cook had gone crazy with the salt. I like salty food, but you could actually see how much salt was on it. The batter had a so-so flavor. Overall the actual chicken I would call "fair." If I compared the chicken to even a chain like Cracker Barrel, I'd say Angel Oak was a bit below that level. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, the place is charming. It feels like a neat spot, but the food didn't wow me. It was uneven at best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is Charleston, and there's so many options. I wanted to give it two and a half stars, but went with three because of how good the appetizer was. It's always good to try a new place, but I'd have to admit that for Charleston -- they're not in the same league as a number of West Ashley places. Just my two cents. read more

Very friendly, polite and beautiful servers! Very clean and cute; fried tomatoes are excellent! Kids burgers , fries and fried chicken were delicious! I would not order steak fritters in well done, it felt over cooked; i should I have stick with medium or medium rate. Overall very happy!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent food, service and atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shrimp and grits very very good! Painkillers tasty and deadly.

Their special of the day was ny strip steak was full of grizzle, over priced, took over 30 minutes for medium rare, was pan cooked, no flavor, steak was refried but came out identical just seared darker. I wouldn't ever spend another dime here!!!!!! read more

Great southern cooking the shrimp and grits my friend enjoyed tremendously. The chicken is still delicious for the first time we had a filet mignon there that was unbelievable delicious. The only thing was the potato scallops could've been a little hotter, but besides that everything was perfect. read more

I sat in the back cocktail area and let me tell you this place is amazing on a Saturday night. Live music, amazing staff and delicious food. The deviled eggs are a great starter option, served with two whole eggs (4 halves) they are done to perfection and the pickled okra is a great touch. The shrimp ceviche was not my favorite (but the toasted bread it was served with was delicious). It needed a bit more salt, lime, onion, and smaller pieces of shrimp. The truffle fries are always a hit so I highly recommend. The real show stopper here is the peanut butter pie and the amazing waitress even brought me an extra side of chocolate sauce which I highly recommend. Overall: a must if you're in the area. read more

Such a gem!!!! We started with drinks at the speakeasy and WOW it was packed on a Thursday! The vibes were awesome and service was great considering the amount of customers for one bartender. They made their own limoncello which I find so special! We then went over to the restaurant and I got the salad of the day. Fresh ingredients, generous portion, reasonable price. Not much more I could ask for. Will be back stat - perfect low key casual atmosphere to catch up with friends or to take your family. read more
